These are all the benefits just from submitting articles to publishers. If you can combine that strategy with submitting your articles to article directories as well, then your articles will go much further!

The benefit of submitting to directories is that the publishers come find YOU. You don't even have to beg them or "bother" them to publish your article.

Most publishers are actively looking for material for their newsletter, when they like what you write - most will contact you to let you know that they are about to publish your article.

This is the best time to reply to them and send them more of the previous articles you have written. It is not unlikely at all to have the same publisher feature you as an author multiple times a month!

So, if you have not started using articles yet - get to it! They are one of the best ways to build short-term AND long-term traffic to your websites.
